Will someone explain to me how Cloud is emo?

[stabler]

I guess it has to do with the way he acts in Advent Children. He seems to have the weight of the world on his shoulders. Maybe someone better in the subject could answer this for you, but I am sure that it has to do with how he turns his emotions inward.

This is the 1º time I've heard that opinion about Cloud

For me Cloud doesn't act like an Emo...... he just got a bit cold and serious because (as stabler said)... he has the weight of the world protection on his shoulders.... also Aeris so.......

I bet you'd be the same..... and thats not being emo for me... that could happen to any person if that were the case

[Evilynn]

You serious?
...you've never heard anyone mention Cloud as an emo..?

...my dearling, we definitely come from two completely different FF-fangroups :P jk, a little. lol xD

AWRIGHT.
Why is Cloud emo?
Here goes.

"I'm not fit to help anyone, not my family, not my friends, nobody" - Cloud Strife
uhm, dude, you can. You just let that emo barrier hit you so you're unable to see those muscles on your arms.

"You're gonna give up and die. Is that it?" - Tifa Lockhart
Why yes. Geostigma-suicide! *coughemocough*

ne...Cloud wasn't really emo....before Advent Children.

...Though, I love him either way. ;P

[JediSupersonic]

Emo Cloud.... well he is a little...... as evilynn said... the I'm not fit to help anyone quote kinda supports that but everyone has the feeling...... that there not good enough one time or another....

This could be clouds theme song at times lol

Let us get something straight.

The Emo genre, (You know it is a fad, a fashion and naught more then such...baseless fashion statements do not suit thee...) in our society is a fashion imperative. To put upon the general standards of melancholy and depression as attributed by common social definition, in order to portray a certain style, while being completely ignorant of the true concept and circumstances of suicidal tendencies and depression is nothing but a childish call for attention.

When you are depressed, for one, you do not care what you look like.

You always care what you look like, even if it is nothing but scraggly hair and worn out sweaters.

It is really nothing but duplicating something as one sees it, whatever the taste and social acceptance of such a prospect may be. Auto mutilation, and letting everyone know you have it is proof of such indeed.

Tell them...Emos may do what they do for a reason...they want some help to. But they all fake it, and know nothing of the true magnitude which life can dish to someone.

Cloud has been through many hardships and ordeals, weather or not some of them were wraught by his own hand... For one, he was afflicted with personality disassociation, infused with Mako energy which, as had been the cause with Sephiroth (But it was not the same with Sephiroth.) does not do a thing to better his already innate mental problems, he has lost one whom we may perceive as a lover, and was faced with inevitable and seemingly destined inevitability and futility-or so he believed.

Therefore, if we take Advent Children into consideration as a true link to Cloud and his life, he is allowed some respite, and some time to huddle in a corner. He is human after all...
For all that he had gone through, he was doing relatively well. I do not believe, even though this is far from being anything near realism, that many other people would have done much better. Even Sephiroth was worse.

If anything, Cloud is more of a badass then an Emo, even if such is used to merely cover his sensitivity and weaknesses, or what he may perceive as such. It shows that Emos are naught but a genre...Cloud was not trying to blatantly present this to anyone.
Granted, 'tis be as childish, to regress one's emotions and make everyone worry about you by using convixtion that one is always fine, however such is not being an Emo. It is in fact quite the contrary.

If anything, Squall is the ''Emo''.

Cloud to me does not represent someone who is emo. He is a young man who is thrusted into a rather tight situation. One that most people do not want to face in their lives, the weight of the world on their shoulders. He has reasons for being unhappy and confused so I can't be too harsh on him.

[Drakon]

Emo? Cloud's screwed up. His side won the first time around, but he had to remember (create?) his own personality right in the middle of saving the world. That left him with no place to go really and a self-inflicted guilt trip over Aeris. If you can save the world but you can't save the one person you promise to protect...

Cloud's not "emo", he's taking too much responsibility for things that he can't control and it's eating him up.
